Additional note about using Fix a Leak: Keeping in mind that Fix A Leak works by having a chemical reaction with air, it is important to get all of the water out of the air chamber whenever you go sailing. When the boat is heeling, there must not be any water in the air chamber pushing back into the seams from which it came. The Fix A Leak needs to be able to work its way into the seams towards the empty air chamber. It can then interact with the air and clog the seam.
